X-Men: The Movie - X Photo Cover Tpb

7 August 2000: I saw the movie 2 times already and I have to say that I just LOVE IT! I've always been an X-men fan. And it was amazing! You have to love all the talent that worked on that movie. Can't wait for the DVD! Oh, and also I bought this book, I've already read it!

I loved the movie and I just HAD to buy the book! Wolverine was SOOOOOO awesome I was hoping Bryan Singer wouldn't dissapoint and he and Hugh Jackman certainly didn't!

This book is fantastic! I love it. The characters are all great and well-balanced, the plot is totally fun, and best of all, well, even though it's just a novel, it really hits the truth of what it's actually like being a mutant or a person with special powers and gifts. The book focuses on Rogue and Wolverine and how they deal with being new and young super heros. Sure, some of you might think the idea of super powers is nothing other than comic book and cartoon stuff (after all, that's what the X-Men are most known for) but the totally cool thing is that if you dive into some of the magical esoteric arts like Chi Gung, Shamanism, Wicca, Voodoo, Christian Mysticism, Kabala, and even the lives of Saints and Mystics in virtually all faiths, you'll see that perhaps, just perhaps, this fun book actually has more truth to it than fiction. I guess that's why I love this book so much because it really shows how much of a personal struggle it really is to be blessed with certain unusual gifts. Reading this book gives you a clearer perspective on whether or not you would really find having super powers or mutant abilities to be a blessing or a curse.Lily of the Valley Carnie, author, Chi Gung: Chinese Healing, Energy, and Natural Magick

IF THE BOOK IS THIS GOOD, THEN THE MOVIE IS GOING TO BE SO MUCH BETTER. THE PERSONALITIES OF THE CHARACTERS ARE AMAZING. FROM PROFESSOR X TO TOAD, THEY ARE REALLY IMPRESSIVE. BY PORTRAITING A YOUNG ROGUE, YOU CAN SEE THAT SHE HAS SOME GROWING UP TO DO IN THE FUTURE. WOLVERINE IS EVERYONE'S HERO AND HE PROVES JUST WHO IS IN CHARGE. CYCLOPS IS A LEADER ALONG WITH STORM THEY ARE AT THE HEART OF THE XMEN. I JUST LOVED THIS BOOK AND I AM SURE I WILL LOVE THE MOVIE.

This story is based around two mutants who's names are Wolverine and Rogue. They have just recently discovered their powers, and are confused at why the world hates them. They discover a school for mutants run by Professor Xavier. There they meet some other mutants who feel the same way they do. Cyclops: A mutant who shoots lasers out of his eyes. Storm: A mutant who can control the weather. Jean Grey: A mutant who has special telekinis powers. She can move things with her mind.This is not the only team of mutants around. Another team of mutants, called the brotherhood, have devoted their powers to destroying the humans that hate them. This team consists of Magneto: The leader of the team. A man who can move things with his mind. Msytique: A shapeshifter, that means she can change in to any form she comes in contact with. Sabertooth: A mutant who has a keen sense of smell and can heal himself in a matter of seconds. Toad: A mutant who has a long sticky tounge and can leap to great lengths.Soon, the people's only hope is that of those whom they hated: Professor Xavier's X-Men. Based upon the cartoon show and the comic book series, this book is extremely well written. It has a great plot, and I'm sure the movie will be good as well. This book is definitaly a "must have".
